Where sports yacht meets flybridge
The S65 sits at the smaller end of the S Class, the range that fuses a low, sporting profile with a compact upper deck Princess calls a sportbridge. At 20.61 metres it delivers the sleek looks of a V Class boat with the added social space of a flybridge above. Four cabins and berths for eight make it a genuine family cruiser for a week aboard. It suits owners who want performance and style without giving up an outdoor helm and lounge. For many it is the most versatile boat in the class, quick to drive and easy to live on.
The sportbridge is lower and more streamlined than a full flybridge, keeping the fast lines that draw people to the S Class. The result is a boat that looks quick at rest and cruises with spirit when the throttles go down. It can be run with light crew on longer trips or by a confident owner for coastal hops. The extra deck adds room without spoiling the profile. The S65 packs a great deal of capability into an agile hull.
Sleek lines and a versatile deck
The S65 wears a streamlined profile with graphic styling and a low, glazed superstructure that reads fast across a marina. The sportbridge carries versatile seating with a movable backrest that converts into a forward sunbed, complete with stowage beneath. An outdoor helm and dining area sit up top for driving and relaxing high above the water. The cockpit below connects to a broad bathing platform for swimming and water toys. It is an arrangement that gives guests two distinct spaces to spread out.
Long hull windows and a raked screen give the boat its sporting stance. A sunroof and glazing keep the main helm sheltered while preserving the view forward. The foredeck adds a further lounging area for quiet mornings away from the aft deck. Teak underfoot and clean stainless detailing lift the sense of quality. Clean lines run across every surface in the Princess manner.
Sports-yacht lines, a convertible sportbridge and MAN V12 pace make the S65 the agile end of the S Class.
Four cabins beneath a sporting hull
Below decks the S65 offers four cabins and berths for up to eight guests, with an optional crew cabin for owners who want help aboard. The full-beam master sits amidships with the calmest motion, a VIP takes the bow, and further cabins handle family or guests. Large windows fill the saloon and cabins with daylight, keeping the interior bright despite the low profile above. The galley is set up for real cooking on longer trips. It is a layout that turns a sporting boat into a proper holiday yacht.
Interiors use the current Princess palette of pale timbers, soft leathers and quality fittings. Volume and light make the lower deck feel open and calm at anchor. Stowage is generous for a week aboard, from wardrobes to galley lockers. The ensuite master gives the owners privacy from guests forward. The saloon opens to the cockpit for easy indoor-outdoor living.
MAN V12 performance
The S65 is powered by twin MAN V12-1400 engines rated at 1,400 hp each, giving it the pace to match its looks. The hull stays composed at speed and dry through a chop, so fast passages stay comfortable. Handling is precise and confident at the helm, with joystick control easing close-quarters work. Trim adjustment lets the owner set the ride to the sea. This is a boat that cruises fast and settles quickly at anchor.
A 4,100 litre fuel tank supports coastal cruising and longer passages between anchorages. The powertrain is tuned for spirited yet comfortable running. Engine access supports routine servicing and daily checks. The V12s carry the boat's speed without drama. The S65 delivers the performance its sporting billing promises.
Who the S65 is for
The S65 suits the owner who wants the looks and pace of a sports yacht with the extra deck and space of a flybridge. Four cabins make it a real family cruiser, while the streamlined profile keeps it quick and stylish at the dock. It appeals to buyers who find a full flybridge too tall but want more than a sports yacht offers below. Owners who value versatility will use every part of the boat across a season.
It also draws those stepping up from a V Class who want an upper deck without losing the sporting line they love. The S65 can be run with light crew or by a confident owner. Its blend of speed and space makes it a strong all-rounder for a coastal family. For the buyer who wants speed, style and a flybridge in one compact hull, it is a strong choice.
Who it is for: The owner who wants sports-yacht looks and pace with the added deck of a flybridge and four cabins for the family, in a compact, agile hull.
